Greening East Asia

"[A] timely effort to integrate our understanding of environmental action in four major countries of East Asia. This book steps beyond the democracy/autocracy binary to point out the many ways that they have followed a similar development pathway, just at different times. This volume offers three commonalities"—China Quarterly

"[A] truly interdisciplinary endeavour that contributes to environmental and Asian studies. Given the relative paucity of edited materials that explicitly apply a comparative lens to East Asia's environment, this is a much-welcomed scholarly intervention. Besides the impressive breadth of topics, this brilliantly edited collection ensures that the chapters are not only in conversation with each other, but also consistently engaged with the eco-developmentalism concept. Such strong cohesion enhances a reader's sense of being able to piece together a fascinating yet complex picture of environmental governance and advocacy in East Asia."—Pacific Affairs

"[A] highly readable volumeGiven its relevance to the ongoing climate emergency, this book should interest scholars, activists, and policy makers of the region and beyond."—Pacific Affairs

"With the growing economic prowess and the deepening environmental problems of that region, I am hopeful that this book can become a standard reference—even for specialists who focus on similar issues elsewhere in the world."—Ming-sho Ho, National Taiwan University
